Then again, how do we know the mangaka didn't just decide to save everyone the trouble and tried hard to make sure this was the Mewtwo we know? I'm sure he(?) got the script to do the manga, so if we're lucky he didn't like this was going to be a new Mewtwo, and did everything he could to make Mewtwo in the manga the Mewtwo.

But the manga makes it pretty clear this is a different Mewtwo.
And yes, she has the script, storyboards, everything. The Keldeo movie adaptation is often word-for-word identical to the movie, and only has a very tiny amount of clear differences. It was very clearly made by someone who knew pretty exact what the movie was like.

Well crap. The artwork's so pretty too, but now that we basically get it whacked over the heads again it's a different Mewtwo... I can always just get images from the manga and just look at them, because it was the artwork that got my attention the most anyway. Might as well admire that.

Shiny Mewtwo vs. Shiny Genesect would've been pretty cool, especially since they would've been complimentary colors, which would've gone for some interesting symbolism. Wonder if this had ever crossed the writers' minds in the least, and if it did, why did they decide against it?

Probably because Mewtwo is much more recognizable in his normal colors. But then again there isn't much different between the two besides the tails and a lighter shade of grey on the shiny.

To right the countless wrongs of our day, we shine this light of true redemption, that this place may become as paradise. What a wonderful world such would be...

Imo, the reason why this Mewtwo wasn't made Shiny is because the movie writers were hoping to trick fans into seeing the movie under the impression that they were going to see the classic Mewtwo in action. I bet most fans wouldn't have bothered buying movie tickets if they knew ahead of time that the classic Mewtwo had been replaced by a new one.

I kinda agree with this, their version is probably, they wanted to keep us guessing, not they used the other Mewtwo fame to promote the movie.

I'm almost beginning to wonder if Mewtwo Q isn't meant to actually be a retconned version of the real Mewtwo... I mean, its story is literally the exact same thing as the real Mewtwo's, just with everything that even slightly involved Team Rocket removed. Everything else is exactly the same.

That's definitely not the same Mewtwo, you can tell by how it is fighting. The Mewtwo we've got used to would of demolished that Genesect in seconds, it doesn't look all big of a deal to me.

This is false, even Old Mewtwo will have an incredible hard time stopping 5 Genesects, one of which is faster than itself. Genesect is strong enough to withstand Mewtwo's psychic out bursts. Even the oldtwo will have a lot of trouble from Genesect. If Mew withstood against Mewtwo, then so will Genesect because both are ancient and both have the same game BST.

1/ It's all fun and well when you guys go around saying not to mix game logic and the animé logic, yet all this type effectiveness, BSTs and all are being spoken off.
2/ I was speaking about the link that the person I quoted posted. There is only the red Genesecft in it, not 5.
3/ If you've watched the video, you'd know that the Mewtwo we know would never get hit in such an amateur way like that. If that is the best Genesect can do, our old Mewtwo would of taken it out in seconds.
4/ Yeah, Mew managed to hold Mewtwo in a battle. They had to have someone challenge Mewtwo back then, and the closest Pokémon that could challenge Mewtwo was Mew (it being the original too.)
5/ On top of that Mewtwo was relatively new and still in conflict with him self.
